    Mort said on MNF, that if the policy is approved, Welker and Gordon would be reinstated immediately because they didn't technically violate the new rule.

    One thing that can be said about the receivers yesterday. Were there any dropped passes? I mean the blatant Greg Little hitting them square in the chest type drops that we've all grown used to over the years. If there was more than 1 or 2, I'm certainly not remembering them.

    LA - theOBR @LaneAdkins ยท 7m NFLPA close to pulling a rabbit named Josh Gordon out of a hat -- suspension not lifted yet, but significant progress made

    http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2014/09/josh_gordon_could_be_re-instat_1.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

    BEREA, Ohio -- Josh Gordon could take another big step on his comeback route Tuesday.

    The NFL's 32 players reps will vote on the new drug policy Tuesday, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

    And depending on the way the new policy is written, Gordon could have his suspension overturned and return to the Browns as soon as the agreement is reached.

    Under terms of the new agreement, Gordon wouldn't have tested positive for marijuana, and therefore, he wouldn't have been banned indefinitely. The NFL and NFLPA are reportedly set to bump the marijuana metabolite threshold up from 15 ng/mil to 50. Gordon's positive test was a 16, sources have told cleveland.com.

    Gordon, who's appeal was rejected on Aug. 27, is currently suspended indefinitely, but at least for the entire 2014 season.

    Whether or not Gordon is re-instated will depend on what the two sides agree on: allowing players back in that tested positive in the new league year beginning Mar. 11, or players that were ultimately suspended in the new league year. A source told cleveland.com that Gordon tested positive no later than February, which was in the previous league year.

    Mortenson also reported that a late point of contention is that if the NFL allows suspended players such as Gordon and Denver's Wes Welker back in, other NFL owners will fight to have their suspended players re-instated. The NFL has already begun receiving complaints from owners who want their players re-instated.

    Even if Gordon's drug ban is rescinded, he might still be suspended for his pending DWI charge in Raleigh, N.C.

    According to profootballtalk.com, the NFL is seeking a minimum two-game suspension for a first-time DWI conviction. Gordon's hearing in Raleigh for the July 5th DWI was postponed from Aug. 26 to November while he went through the appeals process.

    In addition, the league wants players to be de-activated with pay for the game following any DUI arrest -- before due process.

    So as it stands, Gordon might make it back as early this week's game against the Saints, but could miss two games in November for the DWI.

    Last season, Gordon was also suspended for two games -- for what he said was codeine his cough syrup -- and still managed to lead the NFL with 1,646 yards.

    It's unclear who the Browns new player rep is now that D'Qwell Jackson is gone.

    so is this topic dead now?

    between the speculation and the B.S. being piled on everywhere i look by casual readers who comment without close knowledge to the situation...all claiming Gordon has had four fails. FOUR!

    he had the first undisclosed one, the purple drank codeine one, and the 16ng one. that's IT! what they won't accept is he voluntarily placed himself in Stage 3...and you can scream at them indefinitely and they just don't get it. Josh bet on himself and lost. and has thanked everyone for standing beside him except the Cleveland fans.

    writing is on the wall...seems dude has major entitlement issues topped off with no loyalty to us. i suspect he can't wait for the day he leaves Cleveland and becomes a "big star".

    different shit, same day.

    Exactly. I think we're on the same page there. Just answering your question on if it's a dead topic. I know its not for a lot of people all hung up on the ruling. But I aint one of them. I say screw him. IF he comes back, then Great. If not, Oh well.

    Probably dead, but does not make it right... Still plenty of talking heads wondering how the League office can be so arbitrary.

    In my view the most important thing the NFLPA got out of the new deal is an independent arbitrator whose contract they have the power to terminate.

    plenty of non-Browns-fan's out there "head-hunting" saying JG should still get the year instead of the 10 game suspension. these folks are also the aforementioned naysayers that think he has violated 4X...as opposed to 2 and a frog hair over the mj threshold.
